What is PSYCH-K ?

We learned of Psych-K techniques in Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief.  He speaks with great respect for this approach to personal growth.  Having completed training in this technique, we now use this regularly as part of our work with clients. The following information is drawn from the Psych_K webpage

YOUR BELIEFS ESTABLISH THE LIMITS OF WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE!
Your life is a reflection of your beliefs. These beliefs – usually subconscious – are the cumulative effect of life-long "programming." As a result of past negative programming, we sometimes think and behave in self-defeating ways. PSYCH-K provides a user-friendly way to rewrite the "software" of your mind by changing beliefs that sabotage you into beliefs that support you... quickly and easily.
When you rewrite the "software" of your mind, you change the "printout" of your life.
Changing subconscious beliefs that may be sabotaging well-intentioned actions is similar to reprogramming a personal computer. Using PSYCH-K techniques, a kind of "mental keyboard" to your own brain, you can increase "cross talk" between the two brain hemispheres, thereby achieving a more "whole-brained" state, which is ideal for changing subconscious beliefs. In addition, when right and left hemispheres of the brain are in simultaneous communication, the qualities and characteristics of both hemispheres are available to maximize your full response potential to life's challenges.
PSYCH-K helps you communicate directly with both the conscious and the subconscious minds, so you can change old beliefs that sabotage you into new positive ones that support you! This unique process is a blend of various tools for change, some contemporary and some ancient. Like many innovations in the world, PSYCH-K was the result of a "blinding flash of the obvious" generated by years of research and thousands of sessions with individuals and groups.
Q: What Is PSYCH-K?
A: PSYCH-K is a unique and direct way to identify and change subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits and behaviors that you would like to change. It is a simple process that helps you communicate with your subconscious mind so you can change beliefs that sabotage your self-esteem, relationships, job performance and even your physical health! PSYCH-K is a user-friendly way to rewrite the software of your mind in order to change the printout of your life!
Q: How Did PSYCH-K Come To Be?
A: PSYCH-K was originated in 1988 by Robert M. Williams, M.A. It was a response to the frustration that came with the realization that typical counseling techniques, which rely almost exclusively on "insight" and "motivation," seldom create real and lasting changes. Rob has spent 14 years developing and improving PSYCH-K. His background in business and psychotherapy creates a results oriented approach to personal change. PSYCH-K was inspired by a variety of processes, some contemporary and some ancient. It deals with the part of the mind called the subconscious, which is capable of creating dramatic and lasting changes quickly and easily.
Q: How Does PSYCH-K Work?
A: PSYCH-K is a unique process evolving from years of split-brain research and hundreds of sessions with individuals and groups. It creates a receptive state of mind that dramatically reduces resistance to changing at the subconscious level. The subconscious mind can be accessed in a way similar to a personal computer. PSYCH-K works like a "mental keyboard" – a user-friendly method of communicating with the subconscious mind that is simple, direct and verifiable.
Q: What is a PSYCH-K Balance?
A: A PSYCH-K Balance is a technique designed to create balanced communication with both hemispheres of the brain. This "whole-brain" state is ideal for reprogramming the subconscious mind with new positive beliefs that support your goals rather than sabotage them!
Q: How Can PSYCH-K Help Me?
A: Your subconscious beliefs establish the limits of what you can achieve. If your life feels like a car being driven with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake, chances are you have a conflict between your conscious goals and your subconscious beliefs. This kind of conflict shows up in relationships, job performance, self-esteem, athletics, weight loss, prosperity, even your physical health.
